I feel like I’ve been listening to the same 5 Latin artists for a few years now and I can now happily say that I may have found a new artist to add to the rotation.
Camilo.
He’s been around for a while but I’m just starting to appreciate his music. The Colombian singer/songwriter first came into my radar when I found the many people he’s collaborated with. Think Ricky Martin, Shakira, Pedro Capo an my favorite Pablo Alboran. His collaboration with Pablo Alboran is what made me pay attention; the song “El Mismo Aire” may just be my favorite single release of 2020.
Soon after listening to the song I found myself deep diving into Camilo’s discography. He just released his latest single “Vida de Rico”, which is an upbeat love song.
In the song Camilo describes how he may not have a lot, but how he’s willing to share everything he has with his wife. At a time when so many of us are desperately searching for a silver lining, this song and music video remind you of the love in the world. “Vida de Rico” serves as a wonderful reminder of what’s important in life and I think we all need that right now.
In the music video he celebrates the purchase of his first home with his wife; we see them dancing with construction workers as well as with family and friends. Camilo and his wife’s happiness is infectious and “Vida de Rico” will have you swaying your hips in no time.
Isolation is keeping all of us down, but I think this song is a lovely reminder that we have try and dance the worries away.
